🎤  Name: Nima Nurbakhsh 📍  Location: Sacramento, CA 💻  Organization + Role: Project manager 💛  Areas of Expertise (Investor relations) Hi community, I am seeking to use Box to replicate a data room where by internal firm and our external clients are able to access a set of documents. We are required to have new users read a legal disclaimer given the nature of documents - however I am having a hard time setting up a relay which replicates this. The workflow I am looking for is:Invite new user User must read through legal disclaimer User verifies they read it User can access the folders with documentsThey only need to read through once but if it pops up every time that is ok. Thank you!!

Please help, my storage space is 50GB, I deleted 1 folder (44.7GB), I need to restore it, but it is not successful. There is no other content on my storage. The message: We could not perform this action because you do not have enough space in your account. Thank you very much for your help.

Hello.Would you please tell me how to create a ticket?There´s a box folder shared between members of different companies, and for me and another person, the status in the collaborations (where it says “co-owner”, “editor”, “viewer”, etc) it says “pending” for both of us. The difference is I have access to the folder and it´s files, and she doesn´t. Would you please assist me on how to escalate this issue so it can be fixed? Regards, Agustin De Carli

Hi, we have a team collaborating on a document. It's anticipated to go through many review rounds, so I'd like to mark comments as resolved for reference in the Activity tab as they are addressed (not delete them entirely). However, I'm not seeing an option. Can someone advise on how to do this?

I am missing all files in my account, even though (a) I didn’t delete anything (b) I did not share account access with anyone else.

Hi all, Current challenge: I have multiple Box folders filled with images of comments. The filter/search tool is too limited, and I need to search across folders. Future hope: Box AI was announced (back in July) to support multi-folder search, but it’s not here yet. Workarounds I’m considering: Connecting my ChatGPT or Claude subscription to query Box content directly. Adding the text from each image into a Box comment with a specific tag, so AI can search only tagged comments. Keeping the original image of each comment intact (I don’t want only an AI synthesis). 👉 Has anyone figured out a practical way to do this today? Tips, integrations, or best practices would be a huge help.Thanks!

A number of our choir members use the forScore app for displaying sheet music and we have been using Box in preference to Dropbox as our file sharing service.A number of members including me have experienced problems accessing Box from within forScore, on iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. When opening Box as a service, no files are displayed. This problem has persisted for me for 1-2 years, including since upgrading to v26 of the three OSes.The developers of forScore are unable to reproduce the problem.Today I deleted access to Box from forScore on my iPhone, shut down the app, then tried to log back in to Box. After supplying my username and password, I was unable to submit the 6-digit 2FA code (tapping on “Submit” would not take me beyond that screen).Can anyone shed any light on either of these problems?

When we attempt to add me, the system shows:"Email already used in a Box account but not associated with an enterprise."This email is tied to a personal Box account I no longer need. I understand there is normally a 120-day waiting period before the email can be reused, but I cannot wait that long.Can someone from Box Support help delete the personal account or immediately release this email so it can be added to our Enterprise account?Thanks,

I have been working in Box for years, and all the sudden, when I click on any of my Box folders, I get the error "Oops! We can't seem to find the page you're looking for."  In addition, the documents in my Box folder on Windows are giving me an error when I attempt to open them - I assume because they can't locate the files based on the issue with Box online.  How can I solve this issue??

I am a Box admin and deleted a users account. I am attempting to recreate it but am receiving an error "user is already part of your enterprise" when I try to share a folder with the user it says you cannot share with a deactivated account.

Hi there, MFA is already enabled on my account, but it seems when it happened the backup codes were either not captured & saved or have been misplaced. Is there any way I can re-generate these codes? Do I need to disable/re-enable MFA?

Is there a Box reason that one file may appear with a different file type when viewed in Box on an iPhone versus a MacBook? I store my FileMaker Pro files on Box. When I look at the file on my MacBook, the suffix is *.fm19. When I look at the same file on my iPhone, the suffix is *fm19.fm12. Note that I originally had version 12 of FileMaker and later upgraded to version 19. I also submitted this question to Claris Support for FileMaker.

Hi there,when opening a specific pptx file in the online version of Powerpoint through box, parts of the font are very cryptic and not readable at all. On the box overview page, the file is however previewed correctly. This issue only applies to this one file.I already tried reloading the page, opening & closing both box and the file.Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

I need a backup code for when I don't have my MFA nearby.  When I try to generate my one time code I get the following error message There was an error while generating account backup codes. Please try again. I have tried several times.   

Hi!I’ve been using Box for a while, and I’d like to know if there’s any way to configure and don't upload certain types of files.For example, having something like (.gitignore) could do the work (even per directory and/or subdirectories as well).Why this feature? Well, there are many reasons for it, but for example, many applications generate files that are “intermediate” or “non-final” (or even final; we as users don’t want to upload them). One example could be all the compilation files that an IDE generates, or any temporary file that we don’t need on other computers.Best,

Hello, I see that you can have automatic reminders sent, but every 3 days is really too lax for our needs. Is there any way to make a daily reminder happen?   Al
